Response to Electronic Communication

UCSF Health will make its best effort to provide a timely response to electronic inquiries. In some cases, those clinic practitioners or staff who need to respond to an electronic inquiry or other communication may not be immediately available so a patient or patient representative should allow at least two (2) business days for a response. Per above, emergency situations requiring immediate attention must not be submitted electronically.

Furthermore, with respect to any electronic communications sent by the patient, we are only able to respond to such communications based on the information provided by the patient. If there is insufficient information provided, we will be unable to provide accurate and reliable services.

We may revise the information on UCSF MyChart or otherwise change or update UCSF MyChart, including these Terms and Conditions, without notice to you. UCSF Health may also make improvements and/or changes in products and/or services described on UCSF MyChart or add new features at any time without notice. We encourage you to periodically read these Terms and Conditions to see if there have been any changes to our policies that may affect you. Your continued use of UCSF MyChart will signify your continued agreement to these Terms and Conditions as they may be revised.

An individual must be age 18 or older to be accepted as a proxy for a patient. In order to secure proxy access, you need to contact the patient’s practice in order to secure proxy rights.

If the legal relationship with the patient changes, you must inform the patient’s practice immediately. UCSF Health reserves the right to revoke access to a patient’s UCSF MyChart account at any time for any reason.
